To those interested who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
At this point I feel sort of like a small child with an impossibly large
MacDonalds burger. I can't really sink my teeth into everything, I'm a bit
overwhelmed but "bada ba da ba, I'm loving it". The last few weeks have
picked up in time commitment at church and assignment commitment at
college.
Life on the one half of the roll is church where I've been involved in a
few cool things. First, Christianity Explored. It's a Tuesday night dinner
aimed at non-Christians or young Christians who want to explore
Christianity and ask any questions they like. We have tables of about five
to eight for the meal and so the format is conducive to discussion which
centers around a different topic every week. It seems to be a really good
evangelism tool. Sort of coupled to that is the SOUL course on Friday
nights which is simply Christianity Explored for youth. This is going
phenomenally well; it also uses the dinner format and so we're broken down
into table groups the content is simply made more appropriate for a
younger audience. Finally, Thursday nights are still Bible Study. We've
been going through Romans and I've got to say that this Bible Study has
been such an encouragement to me for the future of Bible Studies.
The other half of the roll is college. I don't really know what to say
here other than that life goes on. Today I presented my Ethics III paper
on "Deceit in Gameplay" which was fairly well received. It was quite an
enjoyable assignment, it has just taken away time that I needed to finish
off the term's work before hitting exams which are looming large all of a
sudden. The end looks to be a killer but focus is shifting from work this
term to ministry week. I've got a sermon to prepare as well as a couple of
Bible studies.
The meat and stuff in the middle has been a rebirth of some of our former
glory days as far as society goes. We've had a bunch of good social times
in the last while which, it seems to me, is one of the best things about
being at college.
Please pray that I'm really grown by the work of this term. I suppose that
until next year you can pray for me about next year and, really, the
following years. Time has been scarce so please pray that devotion is the
word that characterises devotions for me. Thank you and enjoy the chips.
In Christ,
James Cuénod
